The arrival of new defences to the Barcelona to cover one of the positions that more doubts has generated in the last years, leaves to others without options

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The current defence culé is a quebradero of head and is not little thing, neither neither is something recent. In many keeps cool the memory of the goleadas in Champions in front of the Rome, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and more recently the PSG in the Camp Nou.

To the agenda has been the loss of points in vital moments of more than a party by fault of concentration, as well as an eternal list of problems that have done him to the Barcelona an almost impossible task the can conquer titles of weight.

The new signings

The last in arriving to the defence of the club have been Emerson Royal and Eric García. Two signings with a lot of projection and that come him perfectly to the Barcelona. Eric García already knows what is to play with the Barcelona, in spite of have not had minutes in the last season with the Manchester City, so much Luis Enrique in the Spanish Selection like Koeman in the Barça, have trusted he like titling.

By his part, Emerson Royal is a similar side to Dani Alves. Already it has showed in the Betis that has a good offensive projection, good arrival from the bottom and a lot of quality to the hour to dribble. Perhaps it costs him more to the hour to limit to defend, by what is something that the Brazilian will have to work more if it wishes to triumph in the Camp Nou and have a titularity.

The dilemma of Koeman with the headlines

With the injury of Hammered, indisputable headline and leader of the defence, Koeman will have to decide who will be the couple of head offices that will commission of the defensive work the next appointments. At present, still they do not exist two clear-cut headlines. Although after the last performances, and because of his big physical state, is not of extrañar that Ronald Araújo was the one who substitute it, something that already did the day in that in that lesionó.

Oscar Mingueza could be the elected to accompany to Araújo, another canterano that has won a place with the ones of Koeman and like titling. After suffering an injury in the Olympic games seems to be recovered, although it does not know if it will be in the party in front of the Getafe of this Sunday.

In the sides, Koeman seems to have defined his options, in the left part Jordi Alba, one of the veterans that had a good season, so much with the Catalan square as with "The Red". In the right saga, the history is more complicated, in the two first parties Dest has been the headline of the same, although it left some doubts. By this, can not descartarse that Emerson advance in the fight by a place between the eleven headline.

Those that are missing

When Clement Lenglet arrived to the Barça burst into with strength, although it has desinflado progressively until no longer explain for Koeman. It has looked for him an exit. But, although the Rome of José Mourinho interested in the French, everything aims to that it will not go out this summer and will remain in the Camp Nou.

By his part, the case of Samuel Umtiti espara study, the French defence no only refused to listen offers of other clubs. The player, in spite of not explaining for Koeman is in his right to act of this way, since has his agreement that finishes in 2023. However, diverse sources sustain that Umtiti agreed with the directors of the club his permanence and even reiterated to be had to recess the wage.
